General Videla Part 1: The Skinny One and the Witch

Argentina. The story of a gaunt, hawkish man who earned the
nickname “the Hitler of the Pampa”. A man whose awkward bearing
belied his capacity for cruelty. A dictator who literally stole the
children of his prisoners. In 1925, Jorge Rafael Videla is born
into a country at a crossroads. But no one can imagine just how
deeply he will impact Argentina over the next 87 years… A Noiser
production, written by John Bartlett. Many thanks to Edward
Brudney, Robert Cox, Marguerite Feitlowitz, Francesca Lessa,
